Can we talk toilets for a minute? We know it’s a slightly unsavoury topic, but something has changed since most of us first got trained on best bathroom practices. We’re talking about so-called “flushable” wipes.

Many wipes say they can be flushed, but your toilet might disagree. The fact is, toilets and our sewer system aren’t meant to handle wipes, just the basics – PEE, POO and TOILET PAPER.
